If someone doesn’t like such due to modern 20th century sensibilities, so be it. Our Torah is eternal and needs no revisions.
I am Moche on the Kavod of the Rishonim (such as the Ramban) that disagree with Rashi, that someone should call them subject to “20th century sensibilities” is close to Apikorsus.

I don’t see MF attacking anyone. We have no idea what Rashi was, and I believe Dr. Hall would agree to that. It doesn’t change the point made, that even Rashi can make mistakes (unless you are in the
“Gedolim are G-ds” (Afar L’Pumei) camp, which in that case you are not a practicing Jew), and he may have made his point based on false information (I don’t think so, but it could be). Rishonim in many cases misquote other Rishonim (a famous case being the Rashba on Keddushei Kesef with Karka), and if the source is not there, it may be a misquote.
